UNC Bans DIE

 The University of North Carolina (UNC) is a big deal here in the Mid-South, so it was a big deal when the UNC Board of Governors voted to ban Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DIE) at UNC.  You can read the story by R. W. Trewyn entitled What? The University of North Carolina is banning DEI?:

Since the birth of affirmative action in the 1960s, universities have been the leading advocates and sacred sanctuary for the principles put forth.
Diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, is what affirmative action has devolved into today -- a totally biased, discriminatory practice now utilized throughout most employment sectors in America.
During hiring, promotion processes, and the like, equal opportunity that affirmative action touted has degenerated into DEI’s equal outcomes. The former expected job qualifications to be met; the latter does not.
Amazingly, the University of North Carolina (UNC) has just taken steps to eliminate DEI from campus mandates...
It's a short read, but it shows that the Devil is getting a little pushback.

  1. I'm having trouble reaching your site. When I search it by name and find your profile the link works fine, but when I use the link directly it goes to a page saying, "The page you are looking for is not found.
    Website Administrator". And the link to that is: https://berita.milenialindonesia.or.id/host-https-polykahr-standingby.blogspot.com/

    ---- so I changed the URL in my blogroll to the link to your blog on your Profile page, but it still leads to the dead end. Do I need to change something Wade? Lemme know. Take care & God Bless.

  2. 2/ Okay, so now I changed the URL to use "as is" and I can click and it links here, but it's not detecting your feed so your blog isn't rolling up the timeline when it's updated, which on my blogroll leaves your site at the bottom of the blogroll, as if it's not updated. This is strange.
